“…13 In a previous study we have already demonstrated that lower body distributed training can provide a significantly greater stimulus for increasing the BURST in middle-aged women. 25 The current findings demonstrated that the rehabilitative exercise protocol used in the current study consisting of neuromuscular and resistance exercise components distributed within and between sessions (RDS) can induce some strength gains in the upper body as compared to exercise delivered in a massed (RMS) manner. Moreover, as expected, the results demonstrated that both the RDS and RMS exercise regimens increased MVC in the lower limbs.…”

“…This finding confirms our previous findings that rehabilitative exercise training distributed within and between sessions (after 40 sessions of RDS in 8 weeks) can induce what is known as Bottom-Up Rise Strength Transfer effect (BURST) as compared to the massed manner of scheduling (24 sessions of RMS in 8 weeks). 25 Pietrangelo et al introduced the concept of a strength increase in untrained upper limbs after lower body strength training in the elderly, and called this effect BURST, specifically attributed to the endurance rather than resistance component of training. 13 In a previous study we have already demonstrated that lower body distributed training can provide a significantly greater stimulus for increasing the BURST in middle-aged women.…”

BackgroundThe scheduling of clinical rehabilitative exercise should combine best possible delivery of exercise with the most efficient use of time, facilities, equipment, and personnel. However, it is not clear whether distribution of a fixed amount of exercise volume is more efficient over a longer time period in a week (distributed manner) than over a shorter time period in a week (massed manner).ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of distributed versus massed within‐ and between‐session exercise scheduling on balance, exercise performance, and pain perception in middle‐aged women with knee pain.ParticipantsThirty‐four middle‐aged female volunteers (mean age ± SD, 56.0 ± 5.2 years old; mean weight ± SD, 66.9 ± 7.6 kg; mean body mass index [BMI] ± SD, 27.7 ± 2.8 kg/m2) were randomly assigned to one of the three groups consisting of Rehabilitative Massed Scheduling (RMS); Rehabilitative Distributed Scheduling (RDS); or Control group (CG).Main Outcome MeasuresIsometric strength, balance, functional movement performance, and pain perception were assessed at baseline (pre), at week 8 (mid), and 1 week after the full 12 weeks (post) of exercise training or no intervention (CG).ResultsSignificant improvements in balance, functional movement performance, and pain perception were found after both RDS and RMS after 8 and 12 weeks compared to the control group (p ˂ .05). Examination of the net changes (% ∆) between RDS and RMS showed a statistically significant difference only in the right 30‐second arm curl records of individuals in the RDS group, which were significantly higher than the RMS group at the post‐test (p ˂ .05).ConclusionRehabilitative training providers are advised to distribute the drills of rehabilitative exercise training within and between the sessions of exercise per week only when a positive Bottom‐Up Rise Strength Transfer effect (BURST) effect of exercise training is needed. Otherwise, if the whole amount of rehabilitative exercise work is identical the benefit of going five versus three times per week to the rehabilitation centers would be similar.

Background There are a myriad of exercise variations in which upper body (UB) and lower body (LB) exercises have been intermittently used. However, it is still unclear how training of one body region (e.g. LB) affects adaptations in distant body areas (e.g. UB), and how different UB and LB exercise configurations could help facilitate physiological adaptations of either region; both referred to in this review as vertical strength transfer. Objective We aimed to investigate the existence of the vertical strength transfer phenomenon as a response to various UB and LB exercise configurations and to identify potential mechanisms underpinning its occurrence. Methods A systematic search using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) for Scoping Reviews protocol was conducted in February 2024 using four databases (Web of Science, MEDLINE, Scopus and CINAHL) to identify peer-reviewed articles that investigated the vertical strength transfer phenomenon. Results Of the 5242 identified articles, 24 studies met the inclusion criteria. Findings suggest that the addition of UB strength training to LB endurance exercise may help preserve power-generating capacity for the leg muscle fibres. Furthermore, systemic endocrine responses to high-volume resistance exercise may beneficially modulate adaptations in precedingly or subsequently trained muscles from a different body region, augmenting their strength gains. Last, strength training for LB could result in improved strength of untrained UB, likely due to the increased central neural drive. Conclusions Vertical strength transfer existence is enabled by neurophysiological mechanisms. Future research should involve athletic populations, examining the potential of vertical strength transfer to facilitate athletic performance and preserve strength in injured extremities.
